      Steven Healy Luck maybe, but more important, good niche! Also my point was that monetized videos doesn't have an advantage against not monetized videos, the problem it's that people upload videos and let them there waiting to hit some views, and not sharing it by themselves, a channel will not grow without some push.

    2:07 as much as I love Casey and Peter i have to say that this is a little misleading. Casey sold his HBO special for millions of dollars before he got really serious about TH-cam so whether he monetized his channel or not is irrelevant because he had the OPTION to not monetize and work on his craft ( which is totally cool). The reality is that most people do not have that legroom financially and most just hope for youtube to finance their projects sooner than later into their journey (specially if you're on the 9 to 5 grind). Great blog!

    the idea of something like 'being accepted as a youtube partner' or even making your first '0.55 cents' is always bigger than the money - it's a feeling of acceptance... when i first got those two things i felt like i was apart of the community and my participation was being appreciated... you guys always speak about being apart of the community - think of this like youtube telling you - you're not longer apart of that community and you need to try harder... it's a bit discouraging especially when you worked hard and got through their original milestones...... well at least that's my $0.02 (ps. my channel cleared the 4k hours/1k subs...and i still felt bad for other creators/people).

    I think the actual problem is that TH-cam promotes videos that are monetized a lot harder than unmonetized videos. This is something a lot of creators are aware about, and it's HUGE!! People who just make a hobby out of it, and get a kick of dopamine out of seeing their numbers go up and don't care about the little money they make will see their channel suffer greatly once monetization is removed.

    I came into this thinking i was getting one thing, and got SO much more! That's what I love about your channel. Really well done. So many people want the quick fix and don't want to put forth the effort for the long haul. We (my dad and I) started a channel, Forest To Farm, where we bought 20 acres of forest and are building 2 houses on a homestead for my parents and my wife & me. The channel is steadily growing without any promotion and we just keep plugging away. I don't see it as an instant way to make a living, but I see it as a great passive income because when someone new starts following they will have hundreds of videos to watch following our journey of turning a forest into a farm. Plus, like you said, put your passion first. We love to share how to do things, and this is the perfect medium for that. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work!

  • @OldCameras
    @OldCameras 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    While I agree with most of the sentiments expressed in this video Peter, there are circumstances where this is a major bummer.
    For some creators, their videos actually cost money to make. The few bucks they were getting from Adsense were handy in balancing out the cost - so they could support their 'passion' /hubby. They weren't actually making profit.
    My channel for instance, even though I qualify for the partner program, virtually all my videos get demonetised for about 90% of the view time. So I'm down to about 10% of what I had. It means the channel is no longer sustainable at this rate. I still make videos out of my own pocket, because I love what I do, but not everyone can afford to do that.
    Obviously TH-cam don't owe us anything, but it's still a shame.

    @benyg85 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    For creators like me, the idea of monetization is something I use (used) as motivation to continue producing content. It's so easy to get discouraged by the amount of effort I have put in and the haters out there on the internet. Regardless of how small the actual money would have been, it was still an achievable goal for me, and now it feels like TH-cam has moved the goalpost.

      geoffphuket I heard that they will send checks of whatever balance you currently have in your adsense account. Can't 100% confirm that though. TH-cam's communication has been absolute garbage and it has led to a lot of misinformation being spread around. TH-cam needs a better communications director.

  • @BillTheTractorMan
    @BillTheTractorMan 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I got the email and what people keep saying is you don't make that much money, well I made just over $500 last year alone. That goes a long way towards paying for the things I need to make videos. I didn't start TH-cam with nice things and I'm paying off loans on kinda nice things so that I could do this. Without the adsense that monthly payment can't be made as easily and I feel like I'm being screwed. So yeah, I'm really ticked about the new rules. I've been on youtube since 2009, and been a partner since 2011. I have had ZERO strikes, warnings, anything. I'm getting stabbed in the back and that's how I feel. I don't have a skyrocketing audience and my niche doesn't have that potential. my niche is small and I'm happy with that, I can't change that.

    I agree the amount of money we small TH-camrs make is negligible. I can't lie though, at least it was something. Even without it, I won't stop creating videos because I enjoy it. They seem to help people. It's funny how you started with 800 subscribers. It's been a struggle for me to get to half of that.

    • @TheNotBusyLife
      @TheNotBusyLife 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, the couple hundred a year that I'll be losing isn't huge, but it would be nice to feel like I was earning some equipment. You may not have 800 subs, but I'll bet that you have a lot more than 6800 views!

    • @MichaelWTurner
      @MichaelWTurner 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Not Busy Life I have the 4000 watch hours and a good amount of views, but getting to 1000 subscribers in the next week or so isn't going to happen. I like your channel. I always joke with my wife that I'm going to move up into the mountains and live off the grid. Simpler life and all...your minimalism journey is interesting to me. Question how did you get an over an extra 100 subscribers so quickly?

    • @TheNotBusyLife
      @TheNotBusyLife 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, you never know! Thank you so much for visiting my channel and for your kind words! Since the new requirements came out I'm up about 400 subs now. Honestly, it's just been a lot of hustle. I've gone from one video a week to two, I've filmed four collabs, I made a video about the new requirements and have been updating my viewers on my progress, bought a mic and have tried to figure out some better lighting, I've joined lots of new groups on Facebook where I've been chatting and sharing my videos, tag my videos as a small youtuber on Twitter, started trying to figure out Reddit, commenting on lots of videos, searching for new channels I love to subscribe to, it's been a lot of hustle! Basically I've just been trying to get over being shy and get my videos out there. If I figure out the secret trick to actually growing fast, I'll let you know!

    • @MichaelWTurner
      @MichaelWTurner 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The Not Busy Life I do all those things you mentioned except for the collabs. Honestly although I share my videos and comment, I really don't do it enough. Really it's because I haven't gotten over the shyness like you have. Your advice is good. I need to hustle. There's alot of value to your channel and there is to mine too. I just have to give people the opportunity to find it. Thank you and good luck.

    @Road2Glory 6 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    it's not the demonetization.. it's the moving of the goal posts. I worked hard to hit the threshold, passed it and kept going (in fact I've added half again in only a month) but the word from YT was "we're behind in our review status we'll email you when complete" when in fact they had no intention of reviewing as the rules were changing. That's what gets me most.. honesty & transparency. Clearly they knew the rule change was coming, just email me and say so!

  • @AwadMAwwad
    @AwadMAwwad 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The Main problem is not the new regulations and you are totally right me for example I have created over 10 TH-cam channels and this one seems like it’s kind of working the new guidelines did not discourage me my main problem is TH-cam is totally unfair with smaller channels getting exposure ? Good luck with that Toughest part people like me work hard for the content we produce and I do believe our content sometimes is way better than way bigger channels yet we don’t get 1/4 of the exposure they get !

  • @TriciawiththeTRUTH
    @TriciawiththeTRUTH 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    The thing that sucks though is that TH-cam can keep changing the needle so those that are reaching for those goals never catch up. Like for example, I was already a TH-cam Partner for free, then April last year I needed 10,000 views. Now I had 10,000 views and waited 2 months just to find out there is a new goal...1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours watch time. There's nothing keeping TH-cam from changing the goal again. Next time it will be 10,000 subscribers...who knows! And what's worse is that there is no grandfathering in. This makes TH-cam look untrustworthy. Of course you can keep trying and don't give up, but after achieving goals only to find out that it doesn't matter is VERYYYYY frustrating!!!!!!

    • @SUCCESSLIFESTYLE
      @SUCCESSLIFESTYLE 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      A b-roll is when you are still speaking or there's music background in the video but you put a small clip, like grinding coffee, walking to the car, etc... Peter uses them a lot, makes videos more engaging because people are not just looking at me speaking (in my case), you're creating a story with videos
